Pretty soon, Jim Baskett’s electric vehicle might not be the novelty it once was.

The AJC has a little post today about the former President of Perrelli Tire, Guy Mannino, who’s opening up his first ZAP dealership this Saturday in Augusta.  (Yes…Augusta)  The article goes on to say that two other dealerships will open in Georgia, one in Decatur and one near GA Tech.  No address or specific location is given.

ZAPs are three-wheeled electric cars and pickups, which according to Mannino, cost 2 cents a mile to drive and can go 45 miles between charges. According to the article, ZAP also sells scooters and Segway-like devices.

Is Twist and Scoot, which hasn’t even opened yet, already getting some local competition?  Hard to tell without an address.
